Here's a better picture of my coin. Note the die crack running at a upward slant from her right elbow. I only just noticed this a week ago after having had the coin for a year and a half.

Alrighty people, what have you found now? :cool:

I love going back through this thread!

I like this thread too, so i'll post mine this time. Found this last year in a section of woods where me and my buddy have found a lot of stuff, it will be my best find for a long time i'm sure, maybe forever who knows. 480 silver coin cache plus 35 dollars in clad change all inside of a mason jar inside of a crock pot, inside of an old milk tin, 2 1/2 feet in the ground. It's 281 silver quarters, 62 silver halves, and the rest are mercs and rosies. 12 of the quarters were washingtons, 8 were SLQs and 4 were Canadian. the halves were mixed of Walkers, Franklins, a lot of 64 Kennedys and 6 or 7 40 percent silver Kennedys.

It must have been buried in 67 as there are many 1967 coins and no later.

I finally have a new best find! A Second Seminole War 38 caliber pistol barrel! I found it a mile from my house at a Second Seminole War fort that was burned by indians in 1839!

At anytime you feel you are in a drought, this thread should make you want to get up and head out to swing that coil. My best find that I have right now is this 1787 NJ copper. I still go by my coin box and hold this thing and stare at it.

sent from my ATP

As I likely said earlier in this thread. My favorite find and best find is my 1910 barber half dollar. You can go look at my threads to see it.

Chad · Nov 30, 2014

Fun thread!!! I love it!

Mine best finds are this 1781 reale that I managed to scrape not once, not twice, but THREE times with my shovel. And my other one is a 1723 British half penny.

Post your best find ever!
